There is nothing like watching Film Noir late at night. My favourite is Double Indemnity. Yet some of my colleagues refuse to watch black and white films because they are err...in black and white

Thoroughly enjoying this commentary by @simonpulleyn.bsky.social Wish we had more like it. The decision to print a translation and a dictionary keyed to the text/commentary is so helpful for today’s learner of Greek and Latin. Cambridge Green and Yellow would do well to pick up on this practice.

On the last day of module 3 of the #CovidInquiry, the Chair - Baroness Hallett - said that Professor Fong's testimony was the most powerful she'd seen. I, like many covid-bereaved, am grateful not only for the impact of his evidence, but for its TRUTH. ❤️
